“Totting-up” penalty points

If you build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of three years, you’ll be liable to be disqualified under the “totting-up” system. This is shown on your licence as TT99.

Information on your driving entitlement and endorsements are sent to the courts and police on request.

Again not our usual vehicles humour, but careless drivers maim and kill just as many people as speeding and drunk drivers. It is over before you know it, so stay focused!
